Plant protection products are used in agriculture for more predictable and better harvests. Honeybees and other flower-visiting insects are exposed to residues of these substances when they collect pollen and nectar in the landscape. According to a new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Lund University, pollen was found to contain high concentrations of many subst

Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar hur offentliga organisationer kan tillämpa vissa principer i sin kommunikation för att stärka förtroende för myndigheter. Kommunikation är grunden för en organisations existens. Organisationer manifesteras också genom byggnader, maskiner och viktiga papper. Men slutar medarbetare och chefer att kommunicera med varandra och omvärlden upphör organisationen.U

The increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing our climate to warm at an alarming rate. The consequent changes are unprecedented, and difficult to predict due to the complexity of the Earth system.  While we know that half of the carbon emissions released to the atmosphere by fossil fuel usage are re-captured by the ocean and land ecosystems, we still lack knowledge when i

With the aid of satellite images, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered unique data on the severe drought that hit Syria between 2007 and 2009. Previously, many politicians and researchers believed that it was decisive for the outbreak of war in 2011. However, the new results indicate that agricultural land had already recovered by 2010.

Researchers at Lund University's Lund Stem Cell Center have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leu

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside – even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird
